Fate of odd-parity magnetism in one dimension

Abstract

We consider a one-dimensional model for a $p$-wave magnet within the bosonization framework. The model consists of itinerant electrons described by an extended Hubbard model coupled to a chain of localized moments through the Kondo exchange. The classical ground state of the local-moment system captures the salient features of an odd-parity magnet. By bosonizing the coupled system, a description in terms of coupled Luttinger liquids follows, giving rise to a rich weak-coupling phase diagram. It is shown that the spin chain develops quasi long-range order consistent with the combined time-reversal and translation symmetry defining the $p$-wave magnet. We highlight the peculiar role played by this order in establishing a commensurability condition on the electronic filling under which additional interactions appear in the bosonic field theory. It is demonstrated that these interactions endow the electron spectral function with a pronounced $p$-wave character. Away from commensurate filling, these interactions are rendered irrelevant and the ensuing $p$-wave character is lost.

Magnetic End States in a Strongly Interacting One-Dimensional Topological Kondo Insulator

Alejandro M. Lobos, A. Dobry, Victor M. Galitski

Topological Kondo insulators are strongly correlated materials where itinerant electrons hybridize with localized spins, giving rise to a topologically nontrivial band structure. Here, we use nonperturbative bosonization and renormalization-group techniques to study theoretically a one-dimensional topological Kondo insulator, described as a Kondo-Heisenberg model, where the Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain is coupled to a Hubbard chain through a Kondo exchange interaction in the p-wave channel (i.e., a strongly correlated version of the prototypical Tamm-Schockley model). We derive and solve renormalization-group equations at two-loop order in the Kondo parameter, and find that, at half filling, the charge degrees of freedom in the Hubbard chain acquire a Mott gap, even in the case of a noninteracting conduction band (Hubbard parameter U=0). Furthermore, at low enough temperatures, the system maps onto a spin-1/2 ladder with local ferromagnetic interactions along the rungs, effectively locking the spin degrees of freedom into a spin-1 chain with frozen charge degrees of freedom. This structure behaves as a spin-1 Haldane chain, a prototypical interacting topological spin model, and features two magnetic spin-1/2 end states for chains with open boundary conditions. Our analysis allows us to derive an insightful connection between topological Kondo insulators in one spatial dimension and the well-known physics of the Haldane chain, showing that the ground state of the former is qualitatively different from the predictions of the naive mean-field theory.

Magnetic order and strongly correlated effects in the one-dimensional Ising-Kondo lattice

Xiaofan Zhou, Jingtao Fan, Suotang Jia

We investigate the magnetic order and related strongly correlated effects in a one-dimensional Ising-Kondo lattice with transverse field. This model is the anisotropic limit of the conventional isotropic Kondo lattice model, in the sense that the itinerant electrons interact with the localized magnetic moments via only longitudinal Kondo exchange. Adopting the numerical density-matrix renormalization group method, we map out the ground-state phase diagram in various parameter spaces. Depending on the Kondo coupling and filling number, three distinct phases, including a metallic paramagnetic, a metallic ferromagnetic, and a gapped spin-density wave phase, are obtained. The spin-density wave is characterized by an ordering wave vector, which coincides with the nesting wave vector of the Fermi surface. This makes the corresponding magnetic transition a spin analog of the Peierls transition occurring in the one-dimensional metal. Moreover, by analyzing the momentum distribution function and charge correlation function, the conduction electrons are shown to behave like free spinless fermions in the ferromagnetic phase. We finally discuss the effect of the repulsive Hubbard interaction between conduction electrons. Our paper enriches the Kondo physics and deepens the current understanding of the heavy fermion compounds.

Superconductivity of itinerant electrons coupled to spin chains

Subir Sachdev A, R. Shankar

A one-dimensional model of itinerant electrons interacting with an antiferromagnetic spin-\textonehalf{} chain is introduced and solved. The model is designed to create ferromagnetic spin polarons around each itinerant electron. The model is mapped onto a sine-Gordon Hamiltonian of three massless Bose fields. A renormalization-group analysis of the bosonic theory shows that the original model possesses quasi-long-range odd-parity superconductivity and spin-density-wave order. The relevance to high-temperature and heavy-fermion superconductors is discussed.

Magnetism and superconductivity in underscreened Kondo chains

Natan Andrei, E. Orignac

We present a one-dimensional model of electrons coupled to localized moments of spin $S>~1$ in which magnetism and superconductivity interplay in a nontrivial manner. This model has a non-Fermi-liquid ground state of the chiral spin liquid type. An unconventional odd-frequency pairing is shown to be the dominant instability of the system, together with antiferromagnetism of the local moments. We argue that this model captures the physics of the Kondo-Heisenberg spin $S=1$ chain, in the limit of strong Kondo coupling. Finally, we discuss briefly the effect of interchain coupling.

Hatsugai-Kohmoto-like Models for Altermagnets and Odd-Parity Magnets

Konstantin Rickelt, Denis Sedov, Mathias S. Scheurer

We introduce a generalized Hatsugai-Kohmoto multi-orbital model and study its phase diagram and physical properties in the additional presence of perturbations that lift any extensive ground-state degeneracies. The unperturbed, exactly solvable model already displays a rich set of spectral functions, including regimes reminiscent of unconventional magnets. We map the first-order study of additional spatially local multi-orbital Hubbard interactions to a Heisenberg model in momentum space, which leads to symmetry-breaking instabilities already at weak coupling. Interestingly, translational-symmetry breaking orders, such as antiferromagnetism, are excluded. Instead, in addition to ferromagnetism, unconventional $p$-wave and $d$-wave magnets occur, characterized by spin order on the bonds of the underlying square lattice. Adding another type of momentum-space interaction, which still allows to solve the model exactly, is shown to stabilize a non-degenerate singlet ground state that retains the spin splitting characteristic of unconventional magnets. We discuss its impact on the spin structure factor. Taken together, our findings show that Hatsugai-Kohmoto-like models provide a rich playground for unconventional magnetism.

Phase diagram and correlation exponents for interacting fermions in one dimension

Eugene B. Kolomeisky, Joseph P. Straley

A theory is given for the ground-state properties of short-ranged interacting spin-\textonehalf{} fermions moving in a periodic potential, based on a combination of renormalization-group ideas, the harmonic (Luttinger) liquid approach, and the symmetry properties of the Hubbard model, for a wide range of interactions and arbitrary fillings. For rational filling factors the outcome depends nontrivially on the parity of the order of the $2{k}_{F}$ umklapp scattering: even values fall into a universality class characterized by a separation of charge and spin degrees of freedom in the long-wavelength limit, while the action for the case of odd orders does not have this property, thus leading to distinct phase diagrams. It is argued that even when the long-wavelength action does exhibit a spin-charge separation it is not always an accurate approximation, particularly for the case of strong repulsion between electrons of the same spin. This leads to a classification of the possible ground states, associated correlation exponents, and phase transitions. The translational correlation exponents upon approaching insulator phases (existing at exact commensuration) by changing electron density can be related to the fractional charge of the solitons, using the Landauer rule.
